us. welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm natalie allen. this is "cnn newsroom." thank you for joining us. donald trump is escaping the impeachment frenzy in florida with a two-week trip to florida. the president, his wife and their son arrive in florida on friday. along the way, mr. trump signed a bill creating the newest branch of the military, the u.s. space force. not everyone is happy about the president's vacation, meantime. white house aids are saying near concerned he might have too much unstructured time susceptible to
1:02 am
influence from outside and tv news coverage. >> staff for the key house committees are expected to work over the holiday recess, consulting with democratic leadership and prepping for a trial as early as the week of january 6th. but that depends on house speaker nancy pelosi who says she won't send the articles of impeachment until the parameters of the trial are set. >> when they wrote the constitution, they suspected there would be a rogue president. i don't think they suspected we could have a rogue president and a rogue leader in the senate at the same time. >> in the senate, mitch mcconnell arrange for white house staff to get a lay of the land in the chamber after failing to get a deal on thursday on the rules for a trial. >> we remain at an impasse. >> mcconnell argued rules from previous impeachments should
1:03 am
reign. >> the rules that were good enough for president clinton ought to be good enough for president trump. fair is fair. >> former national security adviser john bolton and acting chief of staff mick mulvaney. >> the standoff means lawmakers are leaving washington with the status of an impeachment trial in limbo until the new year. but if pelosi's power play was meant to throw him off balance, he insists it's not happening. >> sara murray, cnn, washington. president trump is firing back at "christianity today" which is calling for his removal
1:04 am
from office. on twitter, the president blasted the publication as a far left magazine which has been doing very poorly and hasn't been involved with the billy graham family for many years. whether he should be removed from the office by senate or by popular vote next election, that is a matter of prodigial judgment. he spoke on friday with cnn's john berman. here it is. >> we're pretty centrist. we rarely comment on xlits unless we feel it rises to the level of some national concern or that is really important. this will be the case. we wrote editorials about clinton during his impeachment process. we wrote editorials will dixon during his. this struck me as rising to that
1:05 am
level and it needed commented. as a christian, i like to think of myself as a person who has given my ultimate loyalty to jesus christ and the gospel he's called us to proclaim. so when christians of any stripe support a cause that strikes me as manifestly immoral, it does damage to the cause that i've given my life to. so i think that's one part of the equation that all christians, especially my brothers and sisters in the evangelical world, need to think about more seriously and more deeply. >> a fox news poll from earlier this month shows 67% of white evangelical christians approve of the president. 32% disapprove. not long ago, the republican party in america was a reliably vocal critic in russia. but that has been muted under president trump who is now getting support from moscow after his impeachment. here the president retweeted a headlines from the associated
1:06 am
press in which the russian leader called impeachment farfetched and predicted the united states senate would reject it. frederick pleitgen has more from moscow. >> article 1 is adopted. >> after his impeachment by the house, president trump lashing out. >> well, i don't feel like i'm being impeached. it's a hoax. it's a setup. >> vladimir putin seems to feel the same way. speaking at his marathon press conference often praising their leader while asking questions, putin blasted impeachment claiming democrats made it all up. >> it still has to go through the senate. it's unlikely they will want to remove the representative of their party for some made up reasons. >> and those aren't the only talking points he was parroting.
1:07 am
>> when the russian collusion didn't work, democrats sought a new path forward to impeach president trump. >> one party that lost the elections, the democratic party, is now trying to improve his goals with new ways. but it turned out there was no collusion and it can't be the basis for the impeachment. so now they came up with some pressure on ukraine. >> while democrats and even some republicans were shocked when giuliani recently went on a fact-finding mission to ukraine, afterwards appearing on the
1:08 am
right wing trump network oan, on tv in russia, a very different tone. the hosts and analysts often praising giuliani and praising him on. >> i think giuliani's trip is going to be a success. trump's electoral ratings grow little by little, which is weird. we can conclude the goal has been achieved. >> while ukraine grappled with moscow's pressure, unsure of the trump administration's support, washington is divided over impeachment, putin is sitting back and watching it all play out so far in his favor. cnn, moscow. >> joining me now from london to talk about these developments is leslie benjamury. good morning to you. thanks for coming on.
1:09 am
>> thank you for having me. thank you. let's begin with russia. probably vladimir putin's response, really, no surprise. and then we have the comparisons to certain circles in washington to russia. let's get your thoughts on it. >> you know, this is a very tricky one because some of the backlash that the president is aspiring by critiquing and challenging impeachment, i think, does play well certainly with his base and with the republican party and possibility with some independents. i'm more skeptical of that. but i think the affinity to putin, trying to get russia behind them, i'm not persuaded that this has the same effect. we've watched this throughout donald trump's presidency at various points. the american public doesn't tend to follow the support that the
1:10 am
president is getting from putin. >> all right. let's move on to the impeachment itself. what of the impeachment trial impasse. nancy pelosi says she will not send impeachment articles until the senate agree to the rules. >> nancy pelosi is a very shrewd leader. but this is a very -- it comes off i think of these statements that senator lindsey graham made at the doha forum not just a week ago, indicating that they don't see themselves as impartial, that they're seeking to move very quickly. there is a question about whether witnesses will be
1:11 am
called. in a recent poll, 6/4% of republicans said they would like to see witnesses called. those who surround donald trump such as john bolton are people even the republicans would like to see. so there's support for a process that actually brings leverages. but, of course, it hangs over the president's head and i think it does make for potentially a very toxic january and in the christmas weeks. >> americans and people around the world are looking to focus on christmas. hopeful le they can, for sure. mitch mcconnell, he's controlling the senate. and when you put mitch mcconnell
1:12 am
versus nancy pelosi, what will happen? >> americans are very divided on this. i think one of the interesting questions is less what happens, although that clearly is highly consequential. at the moment, americans remain deeply divided over impeachment. a lot of americans are watching it at the same time that they're tuning it out. but this deep contentiousness between the two leaders is going to carry on. one of the moves might be that maybe nancy pelosi decides don't send the articles to the senate because leave this as a president who has been impeached by the house and don't allow the senate to deny them the opportunity to have a president who has been acquitted. that is also one potential tool
1:13 am
in the -- that's one possibility. >> that sounds like something that can be in play, certainly. meantime, you know, mr. trump is furious. he's been lashing out on twitter. now we have christian magazine saying that you should be put out of office for his im morality. could this give others pause? >>. >> well, i do think this is very interesting. the evangelical base has been important to donald trump and it's been strongly united behind him at least in terms of the polling that we've seen in terms of public statements. there's a little bit of a split or some noise after trump made the decision to put america's
1:14 am
troops out of syria after that phone call with erdogan. so this is a second much stronger statement that we've seen indicating that despite the polling, there might be a different message coming out of the evangelical community. subsequent to that piece, we've seen the evangelical community publicly unite behind the president, it still creates a moment, it indicates in a very public way, that there is the opportunity to push back. and i think, you know, when you see a statement like that made, and then the response being unity, it still means that they were at the beginning potentially of some people having the opportunity to peel away their support from the president if they think his conduct is not appropriate. >> we've got christmas and new year's. hopefully we won't bug you again, leslie, but we just
1:15 am
might. thank you so much for your insights. >> thank you. north korea has a new warning for the united states. it is demanding washington mind its own business when it comes to human rights. the foreign ministry accuses a u.s. diplomate of making reckless remarks in a voice of america interview this week saying it's like pouring oil over burning fire. the statement goes on to say if the u.s. dares to impair our system by taking issue over the human rights issue, it will be made to pay dearly for such an act. just ahead here, the message just sail back home, that is the message from carnival after two of its passenger ships collide. more about it, plus a whistle-blower is sounding the alarm. hear why they say it is becoming less safe to fly.

you've got the video? >> yep. >> he's going to hit us next. >> yes, right there, you see it. those are two carnival cruise ships colliding in cozumel mexico, friday. one was docked and the other hit it while trying to maneuver into court. six people had minor injuries. so fortunately that that wasn't worse. the cruise line believes the collision was caused by spontaneous wind gusts. the passengers were provided for a $100 per room on board credit. the damagedship is heading back to its home port in morals. a whistle-blowerer is raising concerns about the safety of air travel. we're not talking about cruise ships right now. a high ranking official with the u.s. transportation security

administration warms that changes to the screening process are putting people at risk. >> this tsa whistle-blowerer is coming forward because he says the concerns he has raised over the last couple of years have not been addressed. he says the tsa officers on the front line are not to blame. these screening changes, he says, have come from tsa leadership. >>. >> what they're doing is injecting danger into the system. >> jay brainard is the top tsa official in his state and has been with the agency for 17 years. he says tsa is cutting corners on the screening process to
1:22 am
shorten wait times. tsa reduced the sensitivity on all walk through metal detectors across america. >> they are reducing the concentration of metal that it would take to set off that alarm so you can speed up lines. >> how do you know that's why they did it. >> because there's a memo out that supports it. >> brainard says the practice continues today and he worries bomb making ingredients could go undetected. >> it is an unhealthy obsession, placing time over safety. >> this internal memo states as of last month, those x-ray
1:23 am
machines should be enabled. >> that box is no longer on the screen. >> tsa will be saying this is precheck. >> you do not have an entire population in precheck that are vetted. >> cnn put this to the tsa administrator. he says the agency is not prioritizing wait times over security. i won't discuss any of our particular security procedures because that's not appropriate for me to do, but he rest assured, we provide the level of security we think is appropriate based on the travel levels of the passenger.
1:24 am
>> another audit two years later found there were still vulnerabilities. >> when i sit back and you watch these things happen, it is the most frustrating thing you can imagine. >> going public is his last resort. he sent complaints and sent letters to congress. not just about the metal detectors, but also about the x-ray machines, a policy change allowing some passengers with medical devices to do a self-pat down and a new policy called blended lanes, something that could confuse screeners. >> they now have to mentally switch themselves on and off about what is permitted, what is not permitted with every other passenger. >> last year, the special
1:25 am
counsel ordered the complaints to be investigated. >> my biggest fear is having something happen that costs american lives and i didn't step up and put a stop to it or at least try. because it's going happen. it's not a question of if. it's a question of when. we are long over-dow for another attack. >> tsa did take action of one of brainard's complaints. he says they continued to use an ineffective test to determine if new hires were colorblind, a disqualifying condition. >> if you had something in a bag and if something were colorblind, they wouldn't see the bomb if it were the only thing in the bag. >> tsa is now using a new test for new hires. but according to this memo, the agency will not continue resefting the existing workforce until the end of next year.
1:26 am
despite whistle-blowerer protections and consistent top ratings on his performance evaluations, speaking out could cost him his job. >> i fully suspect the first discussion they're going to have is how they can fire me. >> but he believes these issues are too urgent to keep quiet. >> no changes have been made to the body scanners that travelers go to law. cnn reached out and got no comment regarding these complaints. brainard has object stained a whistle-blowerer attorney. the tsa toll me whistle-blowerers, and i'm quoting, provide a valuable service and it's our responsibility to fully investigate those concerns to see if they represent a valid security risk or not, but the tsa says they have not completed its assessment. boris johnson gets his wish. next year and the uk gets its eu

welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. you're watching "cnn newsroom." we appreciate it. here are our top stories. donald trump is leaving impeachment behind for a two-week holiday vacation in
1:31 am
florida. but back in washington, the white house and top democrats are preparing for the next step. house speaker nancy pelosi is withholding the articles of impeachment until the house lays out their tirial plans. the president said he would never again sign a sweeping government spending bill. emergency warnings are in place in several parts of australia as bush fires continue to rage. fire officials are telling some people to take shelters as fires approach their community. high temperatures and strong winds are creating catastrophic conditions. we will are have more about it this half hour. now we turn to the united kingdom. mow the real work begins for
1:32 am
british prime minister boris johnson. lawmakers in london approved his brexit deal thanks to mr. johnson's new conservative majority in parliament. nic robertson looks at what comes next. >> there you have it, a majority of 124. this is precisely what the prime minister boris johnson was looking for, the expectation he would have a very strong majority for the withdraw agreement bill. what happens next? parliament on reset for the next couple of weeks. after that, second week of january, three days set aside for further discussions about the withdraw agreement bill. every expectation now that britain will leave the european union on january 31st, 2020. however, real contention in the lead up to that vote, the prime minister very clear that this is
1:33 am
a more muscular withdraw agreement bill, that he is setting a very clear deadline for negotiating the next phase of brexit, the future relationship with the european union, the trade deal. >> the bill ensures the implementation period must end on the 31st of december and it paves the way on a future relationship you with our european neighbors based on an ambitious trade agreement with control of our own laws. >> and in that debate in the house of commons, the prime minister taking heat on precisely that issue, that 11-month front bencher calling it reckless and irresponsible. >> this prevents the extension of any transition period. that is reckless and it's ridiculous because the
1:34 am
government has now chosen to give itself 1 is months to negotiate an entire trade deal and a security deal. that's an unbelievably short period. >> the prime minister feels he has the wind in his sails, but one of the things that you could see behind that result today, a majority of 124, yes, significant, yes, the way the prime minister wanted it, but break it down a little bit. no northern irish voted in favor and very few scottish mps voted in favor of it, either. and that tells you one thing, the union of the united kingdom is strained and stressed by this still and that is going to dog the prime minister in the next year. let's talk about a little brexit, shall we? clinton is an social fellow from
1:35 am
chatham house. he joined me live from london. good morning to you. >> good morning. good morning. >> thanks for being here. the prime minister believes he has the wind in his sails. which way this ends up monthing, who knows, but i want to get your impressions on the squeezy meter. how squeezy are you over brexit on january 31st? >> the truth is, it is a step towards brexit and a very clear step towards brexit, yet we still don't know what it's going to look like. these negotiations, quite a part from being with an incredibly short time scale are very complicated. nobody has ever tried to do trade talks this way. trade talks are always about trying to get alignment between two systems. these trade talks are about the british trying to disintegrate, to ex track themselves from a
1:36 am
single market and that's going to be actually, i believe, very difficult. so whether we come out with a crash out, which is a danger, or whether we come out with an absolutely minimalist trade deal and actually carry on talking, or whether in the end the british remain almost totally aligned with the european union for a very long time, those three possibilities are all out there. >> that is a good example of the complexities that they're about to go through. it's hard to imagine what brexit will look like and the impact it will have. what immediately impacts of the citizens of the united european union? >> the tension between scotland,
1:37 am
northern ireland and the rest of the european union is very clear. scotland does not want to leave. you have a still very divided country. but i think the key words you need to focus on now are level playing field. because that was the first thing that the european union said when the vote went through yesterday and that was we've got to keep a level playing field. that means we have to keep roughly the same rules and regulations for everything we trade. otherwise, there are going to be barriers, there are going to be boarders and there are going to be checks and the moment you introduce checks with you introduce plexty and you slow things up. that will hit consumers because they won't get what they want. it will hit uk british manufacturing industry because they rely on complicated supply chains of stuff moving across boarders within the european
1:38 am
union. if you make that more complicated by not having a level playing field, then i think life is going to get very difficult for uk manufacturing industry and that's the -- that's the risk that boris johnson is taking in insisting on getting this whole thing done in a very short time. >> when you talk about a level playing field, how will boris johnson play within that parameter? >> well, i think he'll start off by saying we're going to have control over our own system. and then just like he did with this withdraw agreement, as the clock starts ticking, he actually starts making concessions to the european union. and he ends up doing what they
1:39 am
want. and he relies on his own gift of the gab and he comes back and says, there you are, i got you exactly what you asked for. when, in fact, he got the opposite. >> we'll be looking for that. we wish everyone the best in this situation. thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you. >> now we turn to the united states. now 25 jewish members of congress, all of them democrats, are insisting president trump fire steven miller. at the heart of the outrage is a trove of emails including at least one that links to a white you extremist website. for more, here is sara sidner. >> this is the latest in a long string of folks who have come forward to say that they think steven miller should be fired. now 25 jewish members of congress have signed a letter to the president asking him to fire
1:40 am
senior white house adviser miller. this all comes after his emails were leaked by a former breitbart editor who says she was a white nationalist and calls steven miller a white supremacist who further radicalized mer with his ideas. now, the emails that were linked almost always mention immigration or anti-immigration, if you will. usually it is targeted towards black and brown people trying to keep certain people out of the united states. they are both extremely disturbed by what miller has said in these emails in particular and for the policy that has come out of the white house when it comes to immigration which he has a hands in, they are disturbed by exactly how the whois defended miller. and i will read you a portion of their letter. the white house basically went after the southern poverty law
1:41 am
center saying that since they first revealed these emails, that they were going after miller and here is how they put it. they said that the southern poverty law center is engaged in a vial smear campaign against a jewish staffer. and while mr. miller condemns racism and bigotry in all forms, those defaming him are trying to deny his jewish identity which is a pernicious form of anti-semitism. that has angered these people. the way they responded to it is by saying we are deeply troubled the administration is claiming the legitimate criticism of miller is anti semantic simply because miller is jewish. nothing could be a further from the truth. they say in this letter weaponizing anti-semitism is incredibly dangerous by muddying the waters they say that we're no longer able to see and fight
1:42 am
against real anti-semitism. so, again, these 25 lawmakers are adding on to the 100 plus democratic lawmakers who have asked for the resignation or firing of steven miller back in november. so far, the white house has only responded when we question them about miller and some of the things that he said with absolute positivity that miller is not resigning. cnn, los angeles. in the state of iowa, police say a woman admits to running over a 14-year-old girl because the teenager, quote, was a mexican. 42-year-old nicole marie pool frankly now faces a charge of attempted murder. police say the hit and run happened about two weeks ago as the teenager was walking to school. >> i remember waking up in the snow and i'm screaming, i'm crying, i'm like, how did this
1:43 am
happen? why did this happen? why am i on the snow? authorities are looking into whether pool-franklin committed a hate crime. an update on these midshipmen making hand gestures. the naval academy and west point have investigated and now say it was all part of what is called the circle game and not meant as a racist gesture. both academies issued statements saying they were disappointed by the immature behavior. next here as air strikes intensify in northwest syria, yes, we're talking about syria. coming up, a look at how rescuers work to save men, women and children under attack in rebel-held idlib. balances skin's microbiome.

protesteds in india have claimed the lives of ten more people, including a child. at least 18 people have been killed since demonstrations erupted last week. demonstrators returned to the streets across the country friday defying government efforts to stifle the backlash over a controversial new citizenship law. the mesh promises to fast track citizenship for several religious minorities, but not muslims. this week, air strikes, barrel bombs and shelling have picked up yet again in northwestern syria. syrian forces and their russian allies are targeting the area and to maximize human casualties, they apparently carry out double tap strikes to kill rescuers as they respond to the first attack. syria's white helmets have

released a video that they say shows us that as they rescue a 9-year-old girl. arwa damon reports and a warning, you may find some of the footage disturbing. >> that's isla, 9 years old, trapped under her collapsed home from an air strike. moments earlier, the civil defense volunteer you see in this video could hear her mother's faint cries from deeper under the rubble. but then there's is another warning. when the with smoke and dust clears, nate is by her side, but he says her mother's voice is gone. it's hard to describe the following day what it was like with the girl in my arms and the strike and and realizing that i couldn't hear her mother any more. he says he tried to distract
1:49 am
isla. he tries to focus her attention on freeing herself. he doesn't have the heart to tell her her mother is dead. so are two of her cousins. >> when we're on the job, we sometimes have to have hearts of stone. but in moments, we melt, we really melt. the last five days have been especially merciless. even by syria standards, with more than 350 civilians killed. the rescuers, the survivors and the dead, they are like family, lathe says, bonded by cruelty and courage. isla is seared in his heart. the little girl who he saved but whose mother was stolen from her.
